Tropical Ecology

Abstract

This symposium volume reads like the first 25 papers dealing with the tropics to be found in a miscellaneous collection of standard and substandard journals of ecology! limnology!evolution. Tropical ecology has for long been at the point where a book this size should be either devoted entirely to one of its subcategories (physiological ecology, dynamics of populations, interaction between species, tropical forest analysis, savannas, tropical water bodies, island ecosystems, applications) or, if it is to be this broad, the papers or chapters should be synthetic reviews contributed by the best writers in the field.
